    Bomb proof entry level Mavic. You can use them all year round with confidence and they will last for miles and miles. Mine have 4000 miles plus and are rolling well without having needed truing.

    They are not bomb proof, in fact they are not even Butterd2 proof. They are decent enough wheels but there is a plastic bearing in the freehub which I managed to break twice resulting in one fix under warranty and one self fix with replacement part from the US. They are now on the wife's bike and are working well though.

    That'll explain the plastic bushing in entry level wheels giving up then :wink:
